Be Your Own Motivational Speaker!
Copyright (c) 2010 Willie Horton
Do you wake up one day in the morning full of good intentions day and find that by the time you run, you're more motivated? Or, perhaps you get a good start but when the distraction minor first or interruption occurs, you leave the rails. Do you still find that, despite your best efforts, the little voices in your head, continue to drag you down? Keep you find yourself being internally addressed questions that make you question your own ability Either or the prospects of success? In other words, how easy it is for you to lose steam? You need a little motivation – or a lot!
As someone who worked in the field This can generally be described as "self-help" or "personal development" since 1996, I often talk to a variety of conferences. My approach is that I leave my audience with some advice to enable them to motivate themselves. I disagree with the idea that the public needs to be whipped in a frenzy akin to a revivalist meeting or that the public must experience some pseudo-spiritual enlightenment. These charges often made against the average motivational speaker – and while the experience can be enlightening and revealing, often not the effects have worn off long before you find yourself sitting at your desk facing a day of stress and anxiety or the effects will be found when you are once again in the dumps.
In short, you need to become your own motivational speaker – so to speak! The only thing which you have absolute control in your whole life is your own mindset. Do not let one person there – I know many people who, some point in their lives have become dependent on their self-help "guru" – but at the same time, do not abdicate the responsibility yourself. Your mindset is a deadly weapon. It is capable of killing all demotivating thoughts and feelings that you harbor. Left to himself, he is able as good as you kill – squeezing your motivation and drive you, by wallowing in its default state of mind negative.
As I said, is for you to check your state of mind – for you to motivate you – you decide to start. There are a variety of approaches different boasted about by various experts. Some will think that you quite literally become your own motivational speaker – you get up in the morning and you speak in this "feel good" that, unfortunately, in general will wear off when you hit the first obstacle of the day. This method self-assertion that captivates the conscious mind, but in the short term and medium term, makes little difference in your life – because it's your subconscious that controls your behavior.
Some will suggest that you visualize what you want from life and, to some extent, I have no problem with that, except for the fact that few of us have a real idea of what we really and truly want out of life. I heard that we never what we want because we keep changing our minds – and I know many people (at times, myself included) who fall into this category. Others, who were sure they wanted, found that when they have obtained, this was not what they wanted at all! In any event, a big super-duper, the goal will not banish emotions ranging from apathy, through stress, panic that many experience during the fight so-called normal life.
So what? You need to enter connect with your inner self – in other words, your subconscious – the part of you that controls your emotions, your behavior and therefore ultimately control your life. You do not need to give your subconscious direction because, at bottom, both as psychology and quantum physics explain He built his own compass, will in the sense that it better for you. What you should do is just get in touch with yourself, slow down, smell the roses and experience the extreme joy of living in the moment. Because when you're in the moment, you have the presence – the mark of highly qualified and motivated people. When you are present you are more effective, more efficient, more productive and less likely to be derailed by the latest bit of nonsense comes your way you feel. When you are present, you are clear, calm and cool – nothing can confuse you.
And the good news is that this is one area of your life where you have total control and absolute. If you want it!
So, first small steps that lead to jumps of life change – slow down, make room for yourself to really smell the roses. Give yourself space and time to experience the odd moment of no thought, just the experience – whether that is sitting on a bench watching the world go by, having time to perform regular work slightly differently, making the time to do a little something that you really like or meditation – time and space you need to empty your mind is most important investment of time you can make in your daily life. Without the need for bombastic pseudo-religious fervor, you can motivate yourself by being all that is in the present moment.
